Saints Host Apollo 13 Astronaut Fred Haise at Facility

The New Orleans Saints hosted two special guests Tuesday afternoon as Apollo 13 astronaut Fred Haise and Legislative Affairs Officer/Liaison to the INFINITY Science Center Myron Webb visited the team’s facility on Airline Drive in Metairie.

Haise wanted to visit the Saints to personally thank Owner/Chairman of the Board Tom Benson for the team’s support with INFINITY Science Center, an interactive science center in Hancock County.

The Saints teamed up with the Center and the Mississippi State Tax Commission to create Mississippi Super Bowl XLIV license plates to help raise funds for the Center, which opened in late 2011. The license plate monthly fees continue to support the Center’s operations. Haise presented Mr. Benson with a #1 Mississippi Super Bowl XLIV license plate on Tuesday.
